After contemplating retirement earlier this offseason, Garoppolo has decided not to retire and would return to play in the right situation, per NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo. The 34-year-old 12-season veteran with two Super Bowl rings and a 43-21 career starting record (55 starts with San Francisco 49ers) is exploring options; re-joining the Rams as a veteran backup behind Matthew Stafford seems likely, as Sean McVay would welcome his return. Garafolo noted nothing is imminent and it might take an injury to a quarterback or need for a veteran to accelerate a move. Garoppolo's experience—85 games played, 64 starts, 15,828 passing yards, 96 TDs, 4-2 playoff record—positions him as a valuable backup or veteran presence to mentor a high-profile rookie.
